Ive had this bangn around unfinished for a while.
No good just sitting on my hard drive though…
I always wanted to mull over the sentiments from one of Panu’s finest lyrics “All it takes”. Hope you like it Panu. Juggled it round a bit for the resing.

Here’s the lyrics;

“Being a Man”

Sunrise come and the sunset go…
Sunrise come and the sunset go…
And of all the souls I’ve known
I can say I miss him most of all

Generous and strong
slow to anger
quick to share a song

It’s all about knowing what you want
verses what you need
trying not hurt no one
getting up to speed
thats all there is to it son…

One of these days it wont be long
and I’ll be with him forever
time will come and brush us all aside
no party for the going away

You give it all you can
till the bright of day
and of all souls I’ve known
I can say I miss him most of all

You give it all you can
thats all it takes - being a man
You give it all you can
thats all there is to it son

Father told me not fear it
but I think about him everyday
he’d say ;
“it’s all about knowing what you want
verses what you need
trying not to hurt no one
getting up to speed
when you got a job to do
you give it all you can
thats all there is to it son,
you give it all you can
be a man
thats all it takes to be a man…
Just be a man”
